  15. Re:Stealth Satellites? on Satellite Spotters Make Government Uneasy · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'm saying they have to do the work. And they wouldn't have free independent confirmation. But who cares. Fuck you all.

  16. Re:Stealth Satellites? on Satellite Spotters Make Government Uneasy · · Score: 1
    You note two articles backed up by folks wearing tin hats collecting public information and try to put forth the argument that what they were doing was somehow embarrassing super secret spy agencies. Riiight.

    From a intel gathering perspective, if I were working for a foreign agency and I didn't have hard intel on the purposes of foreign satellites I'd start collecting by:

    1. Nte launch date any any publicly available information. Collect other information on satellites launched by NGOs and non-military organizations to note their characteristics and purposes.
    2. Note orbit characteristics (when, where, how often, orbit type, etc).
    3. Deduce purpose of the satellite.

    Now suppose the manhours involved with steps 1 and 2 was 200,000 or whatever. These retards just save our opponents that effort. Now all they have to do is verify the information and decide which ones to knock out if they need to.

  17. Re:Stealth Satellites? on Satellite Spotters Make Government Uneasy · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Don't quit your day job. The fact that you can spot the satellite with binoculars proves my argument. And from an intel standpoint, this is one piece of a puzzle to knowing what the satellites are sued for but I'd rather have the Chinese or whoever have to pay for it themselves. But go ahead, go report to your communist friends. It's your right.

  18. Re:Stealth Satellites? on Satellite Spotters Make Government Uneasy · · Score: 1

    But it assumes the argument that we were some how try to hide the satellites in the first place - hence my "straw man" argument.

  19. Stealth Satellites? on Satellite Spotters Make Government Uneasy · · Score: 0, Troll

    Yet again another story that props up a straw man argument so the lefties can bash the government. All the government folks are saying is that they would rather not have folks doing the work for the Chinese government. You are also perfectly free to stand outside a government building, log anyone going in or out and put it on the web. But don't be surprised if someone calls you an a**hole for doing it.
